refugee camps while tell of it comes under rocket attack yet again. another story from this week israel's troops exchange fire wood syria where the rebels are gaining more support from the west in a bid to remove the assad regime. and the euro zone sinks back into recession as millions take to the streets in the first coordinated an european strike demanding an end to austerity. you're watching artie's weekly news review plus the very latest developments well tensions between gaza and israel have risen again as a two exchange yet another round of heavy artillery fire at least two palestinians have been killed in the latest attack by telling while reports say several new rockets have been launched into. southern israel well filmmaker and activist larry

fear is in gaza or and we can speak to him live now and thank you for joining us to tell us what exactly is happening in the area at the moment. well in the last two hours six palestinians have been confirmed killed including a sixty year old woman and an eight year old child his name being hussein at the same time israel has received rocket fire over the green line from policy resistance groups who according to them are trying to seek revenge given what you say are their fears that israel will still go ahead with a ground operation the despite the mounting death toll. well yes in the last few hours we've been hearing increasing noises from the gazan population and political analysts here saying that they do feel it is impending still a few hours ago yesterday that was looking increasingly unlikely but now it seems looking increasingly likely as things have really risky later. israel says it's

continuing to send in trucks full of aid to gaza and is taking the injured out to see any signs of that. well in the last hour hundreds of egyptians have arrived at one of the largest hospitals here in gaza for the precise and exact reason that this largest and strongest hospital in this tiny strip of land is suffering from a total lack of strength in terms of medical provision. with over six hundred eighty injuries throughout the gaza strip in the last five days the i.c.u. beds are full extension medic medical supplies are in short supply medicine is in short supply normally in gaza outside of this war even power see tomorrow is in short supply so you can just imagine what is happening with this escalation and more if that's the case just how bad do you think the humanitarian situation could become from where you are. well if things continue at this pace. then

things will get worse united nations saying today owner of the united nations relief and works association in gaza have said that they've managed to maintain some services with regard to litter collection and food provision member that most of the gazan population not only under the age of eighteen but they also rely on food handouts just so they do not starve to death and so if the provision of those food handouts for example becomes inhibited because the situation here is too dangerous which could well happen with a ground invasion then that will be an even more gratian military situation here in the gaza strip so what kind of atmosphere is there where you are in gaza i mean a great deal of fear presumably. well i mean west gaza city where most of the internationals abased and hear things are better but if you leave this small radius safe zone quite safe zone things become extremely dangerous and so when i came here to speak to you we drove about fifty miles an hour just to avoid being on the gazan

streets you know for not too long a time all of the cars here for the press international's drive with hazard lights on so that israel knows that these a civilian press cars most people are in their homes seeking refuge in the best way that they can bomb shelters here even for hamas government officials but people are trying the best they can to buckle down not knowing what is going to happen in these next few hours remembering that most violence is when a fix is during the night in the early hours of the day that's yet to come. ok very volatile situation indeed live from gaza. to miscarry fair thank you for joining us here at r.t. . well foreign reporters in the region are being forced to flee their offices which are being targeted by israeli bombs with several journalists wounded parties as the latest. the reports we're receiving is that hoffa of the people who have so far been treated at shifa hospital which is the biggest hospital in gaza city off

of the people being rushed there are in fact children the hospital this simply not coping it's running short of space and also medical supplies at the same time there was an israeli air force strike becky of ten members of the same family killed when a three story building in which they were collapsed around them were also witnessing an increase in the target of journalists also stalled in our station we see have an office in gaza city and just an hour after they lift their office because of electricity cuts that office was destroyed by an israeli air force strike the israeli air force has targeted two media buildings and the army is not apologetic for this it says that it was in fact talking in the patient and ten on the roof of the buildings that are being used by her most and that the i.d.f. did in fact know that there were journalists in this building we do know that several people among them journalists have been injured so we're hearing from the army that they're aware of these foreign journalists and that it's becoming increasingly more dangerous for foreign journalists to work inside gaza and get the

story out two rockets have been intercepted in the skies over television now they were intercepted by the eye and missile defense system that was only north of the city on a saturday this is the fourth straight day that tel aviv has been on the receiving end of a long range brainier made missiles while talking to people here in tel aviv so he immediately after we had these two missiles that were intercepted the general mood here is that the mall tel aviv comes under the firing line of missiles the more the government is going to be more prone to wards launching a ground offensive there has continued to be movement of tanks and armored personnel vehicles along the israeli gaza border we also heard from the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu at his weekly cabinet meeting that he will significantly expand his operation in gaza and many people are reading into that that that means that a ground offensive is on the. cards the idea of cheats also ordered an increase in the number of sorties

a day and militants in gaza so we are expecting that there are also be an increase in strikes over that of a gaza city in addition to this we having seventy five thousand reservists who gathering in the south of the country they haven't been given orders as far as we're aware but certainly they are positioned well positioned to move into gaza if indeed they are called on to do that london however has warned the tel aviv government not to go ahead with any kind of ground offensive saying that this will merely not be made well in the international community and of be hard to justify but we have however heard from the american president barack obama and he said that israel has the right to protect itself so there is an alliance amongst israelis that if they go ahead with this ground offensive they will receive support as they always have in the past from washington the army has also sealed all roads around gaza so those two and now they indicated that a ground offensive could be just a matter of hours if not days away. my colleague bill dog interviewed the israeli

defense force next person which he said the journalists hurt in israeli strikes only have themselves to blame. we're talking about two media buildings indeed but on the roofs of these media buildings hamas wisely positioned a whole system of communications and electronics for its own personal or operational work we targeted only these and ten as these communications center and i spread films earlier today showing this exactly and you can see an accurate hit on the roof none of the floors were targeted of course there was a little bit of. it as a result of the explosive some windows shattered in the one but these they reckon was not the floors but rather intended as the communication centers on the roof i think that if a journalist chooses to locate himself near hamas facility that's a mistake we are now in operation defending half of this country's population and

we are determined to continue with this operation until we bring some peace and quiet to this country the equation is very clear if there will be quiet in israel there will be peace and quiet in gaza but of course what the international community is really concerned about now is the increasing number of civilian deaths now last night i spoke with one of your colleagues joe sherman he claimed the mass is actually rounding up civilians to shield targets you're about to bomb now now how can a mass possibly know your exact targets and respond quickly enough commas to start getting all the israeli cities you're more than welcome to spend just two hours in one of the biggest israeli cities that were targeted for the past two years either be'er sheva or ashkelon which dog each of these cities have more than two hundred thousand people did you ever feel what it's like to run into a shelter and have fifteen seconds to do it or to raise children in a family inside a shelter protected room and sleep there night after night this is not something normal this should not be this way but of course you can also as we can also help

in the same question of course i beg to differ because you can't make this equation hamas the star getting sick. we are not looking to target civilians we are targeting terrorists and the why is. the very reason the call reason why this is happening is because of israeli policy towards the gazans the way they've been suffering from this blockade that has been the provocation as well blockade there is a border to region of the roughest border it's opened do you know that every day we allow patients from gaza to get hospitalization in israel despite the rocket fire do you know that we supply electricity to gaza we supply truckloads with supplies every day even today it's a matter of fact more than one hundred thirty trucks who entered gaza with a variety of supplies according to the requests despite of the rocket fire what other country in the world would act this way. with a spike aid reportedly being sent into gaza u.n. spokesman chris gunness says gaza is headed for humanitarian disaster due to political failure israeli bombing runs and then

a tourist book aid. we were hearing as others that the situation in shifa hospital is deteriorating very rapidly and let's not forget that even before this latest flare up in violence shifa hospital had been hit by the blockade there was a lack of medicines there was a lack of training a lack of equipment so that already bad situation in the hospital one of the largest in the occupied palestinian territory has been made worse there are shortages according to the world health organization of essential and lifesaving drugs what we're seeing in gaza is the result of political failure we call on the politicians and the people who are able to make peace to redouble their efforts to do so because for every hour that goes past another child another woman another civilian the elderly the sick the dying they are in harm's way it's

a situation which we in the united nations and in under find unacceptable in must end and it must and forthwith. on air and also online we are bringing you the latest from the middle east with live updates from twitter stream and our website r.t. dot com you've got on to find out about an unexpected third party joining forces with the people of gaza outrage with what they proclaimed an ongoing abuse of human rights. activist group anonymous declares side of war israel the details of their on the attack on our website. well barack obama is set to become the first ever west preston's to visit me in mobs and looks for allies in china tempted to counter-balance china live analysis

welcome back to the program now in addition to the conflict with the mass in gaza israel has also been fighting on its northern front the israeli defense force confirmed they fired artillery into neighboring syria response to gun far aimed at

its troops in the disputed going heights is the first time in forty years israel has fired into syria but it came amid reports that rebels captured an airport east of syria strengthening their hold of the iraqi border plus this week western attempts to oust president assad gain momentum with france and turkey recognizing the new opposition group the national coalition the ministers are expected to discuss lifting an arms embargo on monday paving the way for direct weapons deliveries to rebels what iran has already responded saying that with them not to appoint a nice terrorism academic and the political activist. says arms deliveries may help the opposition to achieve their goals but i do think this is very unlikely i mean they may well decide to go ahead with this especially that they feel that the rebels so far have not achieved. what they were what they were. designed to achieve i mean they're receiving very surprising weapons missiles there and downing

aircrafts that there is even concern inside syria that the rebels may threaten to simulate aviation they are sending in huge numbers of she heard just across the across the border however not achieve military emperors that is able to counterpart the syrian government recently in the u.k. armed forces talking about safe havens or even. partial or very limited intervention on the syrian borders they may well benefit from very limited no fly zones provided by by these nations around the syrian borders and that may change the balance that may not completely acceptable and inspect may offer some influence that will be enough credit for them to start negotiating the syrian government. now barack obama is set to become the first u.s. president in history to visit me in marmaris part of his asian tour officials say

the trip is aimed at promoting democracy and human rights in the region that's now speak to international affairs and defense analyst joins us live for some analysis of this set thank you for joining us in two thousand and eight obama's first official visit as u.s. president was to canada now this time around he went to asia what does this tell us do you think about the the course of u.s. foreign policy. i believe that united states on their obama's second term is going to try to increase its briston some trait tice in the asia pacific region and the recently. in rangoon india about before going to an association also southeast asian nations so we need a do more on the nineteenth income bolivia piece because william the they want to promote. democracy can reform seemed burma a nian market at the same time i believe they want to also say perhaps in cornish

the government you're right that if they continue we fear we farm sitting in the political arena us whether it's in the trade or read into it they buy the benefits that we've seen creased trade with the united states and more investment by u.s. companies and i believe you can see the point that we have to consider that as they are going through these costs that these fields so that that the country so the us in our region the it over the south china sea china is going to try to lead to talks to develop it may come the same it how to deal with the territorial disputes in the south china sea between last stand and china on one side what are the on the other side in the united states like last year but i must say yes council meet that it could be a good forum for to discuss maritime security but i see an quantas one to the need to us and because they don't want to upset china china is barry barry such a subset of people do they issue a international i say share of the south china sea these fields it invaded on

issues related to those disputes so we are left with a sorry for interacts with all those issues that now how important is the timing of obama's visit one of very important because of the coincides with the us and solve meet on putting aside each show or maybe the pain show see the south china sea you know it's also promoting theiss in the context of the transpacific partnership which already. he was known as the transpacific economic green mint and d.c. is like a right boat trade association right about. to deal plans to go shoot starting tomorrow should it wider trade deal with china. we suffer with australia new zealand we india which will present it like the real people about a quarter of the world's economy but on the other hand you've got united states together for their countries like mexico grucci living room in. my leadership

negotiate the kind of the other countries of course negotiating the air transport see if you can partnership the u.s. is going to offer membership or how you learn to become a member of this cause shows to develop restraint is that this is going to be behind the so-called. ok ok well how to tell us to leave it there for now i thank you very much for the analysis tyler sized international affairs and defense analyst speaking to us from san juan puerto rico thank you. coming up to take a look at how arts conserves i mean ition the battle for peace and justice so after the break here r.t. . texas wants to pull away from the usa in fact at least twenty states have started

petitions for independence after obama won the election with well just a few voting irregularities but guess what suspicion will never happen it is a very easy thing to do to sign a petition and it is another thing entirely to leave the usa that will civil war thing that happened back then does anyone the usa honestly think that they are gov has the bow determination to actual rebel i don't think there is a single george washington type among them well maybe just see fit tura kind of but he's out of office how do it makes it seem like revolution or succession is this fun cool easy thing to do with cool slogans and texan flags flying but the reality looks a lot more like the arab spring before you put your name on the dotted line is a seed you should really understand what that means and what your in for the founding fathers sure did but that's just my opinion.

i miss him he's a nanny take care my daddy. does a famous reuse dance and play was oh my savior and does my mommy ransom business. if he. sees.

sure my. feet. here's one of the largest rivers in the world the plan is to dam all the major tributaries of the amazon river. there will be immense pressure not only on

ecological reserves but also on the communities and the territories that are used sustainably by indigenous people. meanwhile agribusiness is encroaching illegal logging is taking place and so the single basin is now at a crossroads and this is there's a resistance against this dam project that was going on for twenty years. who had gathered here to defend all waters as if it on demand so right. to finish it and these energy will power and the big alamy name companies and mining companies. well and resources.
